paul G:
Well done Julie just need to get out on it now. Dont forget the pictures ;D ;D
mike the bike:
Those carbs look fantastic. There's loads of small stuff to be zinc plated on them, it's a wonder you've got everything back from the platers, and done to a high standard.
You must tell us the name of the company that did the work.

Thanks Mike.
Allenchrome in Pocklington do all our re zincing. Didn't loose one single bit during plating. I'm really pleased with the way they look now, they were disgusting. I even had the start of a nest of some little critter in one of the nooks of a body. Other than the zincing, the bodies went in the U/S cleaner and the brass bits were cleaned. I already had the bowls painted and the tops polished anyway.
Edit...forgot to say don't send the big butterfly thingy, where the throttle cables attach to, to the platers, the 6 alloy rivets holding the 2 plates together disintegrate during the pickling process. I rummaged through Trigs boxes of bits and bobs and found some perfect size rivetts to repair it.

Thanks Julie. I've got a spare set of carbs so I can refurbished them sometime.

So impressed Julie. Carbs in my mind are the hardest bit of any on these bikes to strip and bebuild.
